Ms Miriam Holt:

As Ms McHugh said, it is about investment rather than funding. We do a lot on little. That is what the community does. It is about, for the women we work with, “If she can’t see it, she can’t be it.”. They will tell you there is no one with their accent there, but now we are seeing women with those accents there. They will go into the spaces where there are women with their accent. That is what is needed. We are very aware that we are in 17 communities and there are many communities we are not in where there is no women’s organisation on the ground. We need and constantly call for investment in the sector.
